does this switch work with led dimmable light

If it's a dimmable led it will work. Check with your led manufacturer. I'm using this with a cfl and it works fine. You may get some flicker at low levels.

Not necessarily. I used this with 4 LED spotlight bulbs that I found on eBay for a few bucks a piece.The switch did not know how to handle the bulbs. The scenes wouldnt work. I was able to schedule the bulbs to turn on, but not turn off.I called SmartHome and they said LEDs are not compatible with this switch unless, of course, they are Insteon LED bulbs

Yes, the D in the model stands for Dimmer. You can dim incandescent or CFL/LED marked as dimmable.

It is working fine for me. I have it in the dinning room running about 9 LED bulbs. 8 3.5 watts and one 12.5 watts. Works great. Used this to replace an X10 dimmer that was nothing but problems. Make sure you have a load and a nuteral in your switch box. You will use 3 wires to hook this up. The nuteral is going to connect to the lamp, the dimmer and the feed. Your load is going to connect to the dimmer. Your line is going to connect to the dimmer. Think of this dimmer as an appliance with a light connected to it. Comes with great instructions.

This switch works the same way as a regular dimmer switch. If it works with a regular switch, then it will work with this one.Something to keep in mind: I had one of these. It only lasted 15 months. I called Insteon to complain, and they didn't do anything. Most of my insteon products haven't lasted past 2 years. Their quality is low. The replacement costs will be high. I have switched to X11 products.

Yes...I have added a dimmer switch to mine. Just be sure your get the correct dimmer switch. Not all dimmer switches will work with LED fixtures.

In my experience this will not work with LEDs. The on/off switch works fine. We tried these with Cree recessed lighting and it failed completely. We also tried adding dimmable LED bulbs to a chandelier and it would not work.

Yes, works great with CFL, which are what I'm using. I believe it shouldn't be a problem with LEDs as well. This switch is not a dimmer, it is 100% on or 100% off on a timer. My understanding is that some CFL and LED bulbs can not be dimmed which would be a problem if one were to use them on a dimmer switch.

Your dimmer switch doesn't have to be compatible, the light bulb does. It will say LED dimmable in description

Touch dimmer is just like any other dimmers. As long as your dimmer switch is specifically CFL/LED dim compatible, then you should be fine.

Do not think that will work. Switch is a single pole single throw. LED is designed to light when there is low light and requires an additional white wire to work

I'm not sure it will work with a dimmer switch check with an electrical store selling lamps.

Not according to my electrician, at least not with the LED fixtures that I purchased to use with these switches. I had to use 'conventional' dimmer switches, which worked fine.

In an earlier reply I stated that this switch does not dim LED bulbs. As it turns out I just didn't hold the button down long enough. It's not the best dimmer around, but it is reasonably acceptable.

Absolutely..........works great with led lights provided they are dimmable. I bought some cheap China led flood lights on ebay and although they said nothing about being dimmable they dim just fine.Good Luck! Doug

My experience with using Z-wave dimmable switches with LEDs has not been good. The simple Z-wave "on-off" switch will work just fine. I have tried using the dimmable switch with a single LED light, a chandelier with "small base" LED bulbs, a bank of 5 LED "can lights" in a ceiling. All of these applications failed and eventually, the switches themselves failed. My most recent attempt failed two weeks ago.

While I have not used these with a dimmer switch, I see no reason why not. In effect the converter is just a conductor between the two different types of connectors.

I have reg. bulbs with a dimmer on my lamp. My electrician said I would need a different dimmer switch to use with LED bulbs.

Yes. I installed one with mine and it works great. Make sure dimmer switch is compatible with LED lamps.

I believe it will the tolerance on the switch is pretty wide, and the poles are clearly marked. It will depend on your LEDs to determine if they are dimable.

I believe so. I am using it for CFL (fluorescent) lights. Since this is not a dimmer, it works fine with non-dimmable lights. It is especially handy when you use the companion switch that lets you add other switches with no wiring. I control 2 outside floods with these switches in a closet where I was able to get to the wiring, and placed companion switches in the kitchen. Looks like a normal rocker switch (sort of) but needed no wiring in the walls in the kitchen. A little expensive, but great for adding switches.Hope that helps.-Herschel
